right, next you're going to tell me avey doesn't actually yell " W W W . MP3FRESH . NET" in the middle of the song...

that's the hidden track after Amanita

And on an unrelated note, I thought it was very original of them to include a trojan horse with the album. AC is always pushing boundaries!

As for Feels, the laugh sample makes me feel really nostalgic for some reason in a good way.. Its on that one neon indian song too.. Even though its probably just some random laugh track, I feel like I've heard it before a long time ago from somewhere else

It's also used at the end of a Jens Lekman song Maple Leaves. They used it in Appy Halloween, that Panda student film

danse manatee definitely has the strangest intro... the first track is basically a big intro sound

but my favorite intro on any album is on person pitch good god thats a way to start an album

Post **Posted:** Wed Jul 23, 2014 9:42 am

omg I just realised it should be BSHHHHHHHM! BSHHHHHM! BSHH-BSHHHHHHM! BSHHHHHM! BSHHHHHM! BSHH-BSHHHHHM!

obviously it's been too long since I last listened to the album

I hear that sample everywhere, always catches my ear. TV shows especially use it a lot for playground scenes and whatnot

The Wilhelm Scream of children laughing.

I'm pretty sure that Children Laughing sample was also in this song by Outkast.

Hashman I appreciate your onomatopoeic attention to detail

Post **Posted:** Thu Jul 24, 2014 7:42 am

got really bored and decided to trawl through myanimalhome.net on the internet archive, found the old circuit bent billy bass and tracklist reveal videos from the MPP site, got even more bored and decided to decompile the files they were contained in in order to get the original video files and put them on youtube for preservation. haven't seen these around in a long time

Post **Posted:** Thu Jul 24, 2014 3:57 pm

thanks for posting those videos definitely rock. was that geologist up to his nose in a swamp?

Post **Posted:** Thu Jul 24, 2014 4:58 pm

Thanks for posting meysell. For those of us who weren't aware of MPP hype when it was going on, it's a nice little peek at a huge moment in AC's history.

Post **Posted:** Fri Jul 25, 2014 12:08 pm

I love you meysell

It's kind of insane that Here Comes the Indian seems to contain both some of the loudest and the softest moments in AnCo's discography.

Though they may not have played traditional pop songs during that era, they had musicality in spades.

ace dragon. Can I get in on the hash love train?

Post **Posted:** Sun Jul 27, 2014 12:50 pm

Slippi's pretty damn close to a traditional pop song, come on man

Post **Posted:** Sun Jul 27, 2014 8:03 pm

Is it only me who thinks that hcti has the best opening noise of all ac albums? It always excites me whems the song is gonna start.

Post **Posted:** Mon Jul 28, 2014 1:22 pm

how many times do u guys think the phrase "crank the 'verb!" was used in the making of mpp

Ok, fair. They weren't playing very many traditional pop songs during that era.

Reminds me of when Daniel Lopatin livetweeted Billy Corgan's 8-hour ambient jam..."At this point I would just crank that eventide to 'wet' and let it rain."

Not enough? But seriously, I think Tomboy has the most reverb and what not, MPP has a good amount though.

Post **Posted:** Wed Jul 30, 2014 1:50 pm

yea i was gonna say tomboy but i didnt wanna make it seem like i didnt like it, although i know mpp will never be questioned
look im gonna come clean i just wanted to say crank the 'verb

Post **Posted:** Wed Jul 30, 2014 3:01 pm

Ha, I love Tomboy, not my favorite album but it has some really great songs. Crank the verb would be a wonderful phrase to describe some AC albums if it doesn't get worn out though.

Pitch Person Has The Best Verb on A Release by These Guys the 303 Sounds Like He made the Record on 2 SP 1200s or something with a Roland space echo and Live Marimba Band

Big interview with Dave by Yoni Wolf of WHY?

Sorry, on my phone, that's the mobile site

Post **Posted:** Wed Jul 30, 2014 8:41 pm

oh my god fuck yeah

Post **Posted:** Wed Jul 30, 2014 9:22 pm

best line is from around 65 minutes in "Josh, man....gotta love him"

Post **Posted:** Wed Jul 30, 2014 9:27 pm

About half an hour in. What a great interview. Makes me wish we'd hear more from the guys on long form platforms with a more conversational vibe. Helps that the dude seems like a genuine fan too. Really really cool to hear in-depth viewpoints from Avey on songwriting and producing with the guys - haven't heard much about Slasher Flicks at this point...

Just listened to the whole thing, too lazy to add the individual questions to the Q&A thread or whatever. Recorded in Louisville the night after I saw him at Pitchfork (7/19). Really reinforced my love of Dave. He mentions benefitting from breathing meditation sessions with Josh's mom, Jessica Dibb. Google creeped on her, lol.
As far as Yoni goes, he doesn't seem like too bad of an interview. It's cool to hear two musicians you respect talk for a while. I talked with him a while in a hot tub at a Prince Rama installation he visited in February. Here's that podcast he did with them. (You can barely hear me in the background at one point, lol)

The documentary of their first tour sounds promising

Post **Posted:** Wed Jul 30, 2014 10:22 pm

Man Avey sounds like he's crashing and burning towards the end of the interview. I hope he's doing ok
